If producers are responsible for covering royalties then most of us are already on the hook for thousands. Royalty costs can add up fast and would almost certainly bankrupt many producers. But the question is would rights organizations really go after individual producers? Given how many producers use Radionomy that would be a monumental task.
it really isn't just a case of hoping to get away with it, because there are so many of us.. A lot of us, if not most, joined radionomy because we were informed we could operate legally. If the rules have changed and Radionomy does not cover royalties anymore, if were were to stay honest then we would have to decide whether we could afford to pay royalties or close shop. This is what is at issue here. at the present the wording in the pact is so ambiguous that there hasn't been one Producer (whose opinion i would trust) or indeed outside lawyer that has been able to say.. exactly and with complete certainty what is actually being said.
only RN management and the people that drafted this 'wonder' know that for certain, and this is something that they have to share, so that radios can be absolutely sure what we are responsible for and how we are covered. If they say, or any producer try to excuse this by saying this is info they cant share, then they should not have released this new pact at all.. the fact of HOW they released it already should tell you that they are not 100% confident in the bona-fides of the document.
